Johannisen reveals why he approves of superhero guernsey

ANOTHER member of the Western Bulldogs' leadership group has publicly backed the club's decision to wear a superhero themed jumper for its Marvel Stadium clash against Sydney, with Jason Johannisen revealing he gave the controversial design his tick of approval.

The Bulldogs announced on Tuesday that they would wear the jumper, inspired by Marvel movie 'Thor', for the first AFL game at the newly renamed Marvel Stadium in round one.

The predominantly blue jumper features visual representations of Thor's armour and features a red back, reflecting the red cape the character wears throughout the movies.

Captain Easton Wood supported the idea earlier in the week, while Johannisen – who will miss the clash against the Swans due to an ankle injury – is also on board.
